Surrender
Surrender, actually means obedience my girl... we dissected the meaning yesterday, navigating a married heart daughters in her walk with our King. Religion changed the word to something mystical, idyllic, charming... as if our King Jesus, the King of the Universe is a puppet on a string, our lover, or our fling I concluded.
Waking up from a dream in which my son' beautiful Belgian Malinois, called Ranger, was sleeping next to my bed. I realized our King was telling me in the kindest loving way, that I am returning to sin that I have left behind, as dogs always do, even if they are family friendly dogs and even if they well behaved in a dream...
You see, in February of each year, I like to do bible studies on Exodus, as this Books of the Law brings so much insight to our Father' heart as only laws can reveal what are being protected.
This year is so special, as I never knew that the Exodus out of Egypt took place over a period of 40 days from 10 Feb - 22 March. I always thought that it was only 10 days, in direct relation to my reading abilities.
This and the beautiful fact that on God's door is no number but a word and that is the word: "HOLY"... thus when you enter the presence of God, you are coming to an address or the door of the most holy God and the family friendly loving savage dog, next to you, are not welcome. Which means that it is time to inspect your heart.
In Zach8:17 our Father says with all His love:
"Do not think to do bad things against other people. Do not use my name to promise things and then not do those things. All these things make me very angry."
Thus, if I want to spend an eternity with our Father then I need to take hold of my thoughts. Hmmm, something I was too lazy to do last night, rather indulging a movie with interesting plot, as I deserve a break from the "everyday".
Using my King' Name in vein is not so serious when I heard them speaking... I believe He must be used to it by now, I thought... I just need to see how this movie plays out... Not necessary to defend my King's honor, rather indulging in self pity. So instead of a peace a vomit filled mouth and heart.
Really appalling!
How gracious and kind, long suffering, slow to anger and rich in love You are. Who will clean up this mouth, who will recycle this heart of mine? A heart that ever so easily basks in pride and self indulgence even though my First Love is warring against my enemies. There are so many choices, and yet I still go back...
Oh, how wonderful You are, our Almighty kind and merciful King, how wonderful you are.
Thank You for cleaning up my heart and minds if I surrender to you, and thank You for walking and teaching me to live a holy life with you for eternity. Thank You for the work of Your lovely Spirit in me, almighty King, convincing me of sin in my life in such a soft loving way.
